ABSTRACT:
According to the invention, a crimp and crease resistant metal chain necklace is provided which is composed of adjoining rigid metal chain segments preferably a flat stiff metal chain such as herringbone, serpentine or cobra chain made from a precious metal, preferably gold or silver. The ridged metal chain segments are of the type which are susceptible to crimping and creasing in ordinary usage and which cannot be folded without damaging the chain. The metal chain segments are interconnected by hinged connectors which are preferably integrally attached to such metal chain segments to provide a crimp and crease resistant chain which can be folded to a small size and preferably to about the length of the longest rigid metal chain segment. Preferably the hinged connector includes at least one rod about which the chain segments can pivot. Preferably the rod, is concealed within the necklace to give a smooth, flat appearance.
